Testimonials
Here is a selection of clients who have put their trust in Sunflower Events:
"Thanks so very much for all your work, before the wedding and on the day itself. I was absolutely thrilled that, particularly, on the day, I didn't have any knowledge or stress or regard for anything other than the most simple things like getting my nails done. That was a great blessing being unaware of all the details unfolding outside the room, and it was something I hadn't even considered until you popped your head in at the very last minute and said "They're ready when you are!" I'm hoping it did show, but it really was very calming and reassuring. Many of our guests said it was an absolutely brilliant event, and (particularly the brutally honest Australians!) wouldn't have said it without conviction...but more so, Anthony and I were thrilled to bits with how it eventuated. Without a doubt, it was perfect!"

Wedding: Albi, France
"Sunflower Events helped rescue triumph from adversity when our wedding plans were turned upside down at late notice. The professionals Sunflower found us saved weeks of searching for suitable florists, jewelers, photographers and the like, and Sharon's project management skills kept everything on track on the run-up to the big day. Suppliers were well briefed and prepared. On the day itself Sharon's quiet
diplomacy and attention to detail helped everything run smoothly, leaving us to enjoying ourselves, and the post-event communications with key suppliers has been exemplary. We would not hesitate to recommend Sunflower Events to anyone marrying over here - even if like us they previously felt they had the skills to carry it off themselves."

"Sunflower Events made us feel taken care of in every way. Sharon Ashton's sharp attention to every element and detail created not only a wedding for us but a true event for our family and friends that we will never forget. She spent time to get to know us personally and paid close attention to how we envisioned our wedding. All of Sharon's skilled advice and ideas were welcomed and it turned out to be a better day than we ever imagined. Her knowledge of the French culture and language was essential in planning a wedding in France. Having Sharon so involved from the beginning with the planning all the way to the very end made it possible for us to really savor the day with our loved ones. Our guests kept telling us we had planned a "celebrity wedding” and I know it is because Sharon was behind the scenes making it happen! We truly could not have done it with out her help! Looking back on it all we are so happy with all of the choices we made for the wedding but the most instrumental decision was to have Sharon
by our side every step of the way.”
Angela and Ben Harris, CA, USA
Wedding: Burgundy, France
"The wedding was MAGICAL, it could not have been more perfect, was the sun not shining? I didn't notice! For everyone it was shining it seemed, having so many of their friends come from so far away for them, the atmosphere at the chateau, the food was wonderful, the catering staff excellent, the owner of the chateau a real gentleman, the photographer seemed to be everywhere and last but definitely not least yourself Sharon, if it had not been for all your organisation and hard work it would not have been such a happy, wonderful day! Thank you sincerely from both John and myself for that".
John and Christine (Mother and Father of the Bride), UK
Wedding: Albi, France
"‘It was one of the best weddings ever,' said our guests. Everything was perfect: the food, the band, the venue – and maybe you can take credit for the weather too? Thank you for planning and organising this out-door event, not an easy task in a small Provencal village. It was a truly wonderful occasion.”
Margaret Stone (mother of the bride), Kent, UK
Amy and Steve Crossan, Zurich, Switzerland
Wedding: Provence, France
"Our special day near Revel in South West France was truly magical. Organising an event in France let alone a wedding is without doubt a real challenge and although I started off with every intention of organising the wedding myself, I soon became unstuck in a number of important areas. It was at this point that I managed to find Sharon who came to my rescue. The contacts that she was able to provide for the entertainment and for a minister to conduct the service were 'parfait'. Their contribution on the day exceeded our highest expectations and left guests thrilled by their french experience. We can't thank Sharon enough for the magic that she added to our big day and would recommend her unreservedly. Thank you Sharon.”
Julie & Nick, Toulouse, France
Wedding: Revel, South-West France
"As a couple based in Australia, Sharon took the stress and uncertainty out of planning our wedding in France. Working with her allowed us to relax and enjoy the preparations, secure in the knowledge that she and her colleagues were on top of the detail. She found us a number of really great suppliers who surpassed our expectations - our guests are still talking about the musicians! She is truly a professional - easy to work with, delivers on promises and has the knowledge and skills to meet client needs. Trust her with your special day and you won't be disappointed.”
Amanda and David Hayes, NSW, Australia
Wedding: Narbonne, France
"When we were planning our wedding we knew it would be impossible for us to organise on our own. Both of us work in banking and travel extensively so time is
short. On top of that we wanted to hold our wedding in France, where I am from, but needed to make sure all the planning and organisation could be done in English so Philip could participate. We looked on a number of internet sites and contacted several wedding planners based in France. It was Sharon who was the most responsive, the most efficient and the most service oriented of the planners we contacted. She proved essential for the day to day planning, follow up with suppliers and organisation on the day. Thanks Sharon, you were fantastic!!"
Claire and Philip Kok, London, UK
Wedding: Paris region, France
"I wanted to start by thanking you so much for all you did for us. You really took care of every detail and the whole thing ran so smoothly. Thank you so much for putting up with all my nit picking during the planning phase, I could not have been happier with the end result! We really enjoyed working with you. Jonathan and I have talked about it a lot and we could not have been happier with your services. You went over and beyond the call of duty in many ways and you really made sure everything happened just as it should, it was really an event to remember and we owe most of that to you!
